🎥 LSU+: THE CLIMB

The Climb | Steadfast | S4 EP 7
Presented by Baton Rouge Super Chevy Dealers | Postseason has arrived for LSU Gymnastics, as the Tigers get set to host an NCAA Regional in Baton Rouge for the first time since 2019. Hear from Associate Head Coach Garrett Griffeth, transfers Emily Innes, Courtney Blackson and others, before the Road to Forth Worth begins.
🔼 NYC Bound. Congratulations to Flau’jae Johnson as she was invited to attend the WNBA Draft in NYC. The draft is slated for Monday, April 13.
🔼 Tee Off. Sam Burns logged the first eagle of the 2026 Masters yesterday! Burns finished the day five under par and tied with Rory McIlroy for the lead.

🔼 On Deck. No. 24 LSU travels to Oxford for a three-game series against No. 25 Ole Miss beginning tonight at 6:30 p.m. CT on SEC Network+. LSU has rallied from deficits of three runs or more in each of its last four wins. The Tigers hold a 185-160 all-time series lead over the Rebels and have swept Ole Miss in each of the last two regular-season meetings. Full preview here.

🔼 Top 25 Clash. No. 21/18 LSU softball hosts No. 12/11 Arizona for a three-game series at Tiger Park beginning tonight at 6 p.m. CT on SEC Network+. Sunday's finale airs on ESPN at 11 a.m. CT. Sierra Daniel leads the Tigers at the plate hitting .363, while Jayden Heavener paces the pitching staff at 9-6 with 89 strikeouts. Saturday is the annual Strikeout Ovarian Cancer/All for Alex game, with all 15 SEC teams wearing teal in honor of Mississippi State's Alex Wilcox, plus a Geaux Teal Awareness Walk beginning at 8:30 a.m. CT at Tiger Park. LSU is 2-0 all-time against Arizona at home, with the last meeting in Baton Rouge coming in the 2015 NCAA Super Regionals.

🔼 Home Sand. No. 12 LSU beach volleyball returns home for the Battle on the Bayou on April 10-11, hosting Central Arkansas, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Texas A&M-Kingsville, and Southeastern Louisiana. The Tigers open today against Central Arkansas at 10:30 a.m. CT and close Saturday against Southeastern Louisiana at 4:45 p.m. CT, with a senior sendoff ceremony to follow the final match.

🔼 On Your Mark. LSU track and field makes its second road trip of the outdoor season Friday at the Baylor Invitational, bringing 35 entries to Clyde Hart Track & Field Stadium. Key storylines to watch: Matthew Sophia chases his personal best in the 110-meter hurdles after clocking the nation's third-fastest wind-legal time of 13.40 last week; Tima Godbless and freshman Athaleyha Hinckson go side-by-side in the 100 meters looking to climb the NCAA leaderboard; and both relay squads return after big performances at the Texas Relays. Action begins today at 10 a.m. CT with the women's javelin.

🔼 Giving Back. LSU men’s tennis junior Rudy Ceccon has been named to the 2026 SEC Men's Tennis Community Service Team, recognizing his impact both in Baton Rouge and on the court. The French native has volunteered through Athletes for Hope at McKinley Elementary School, helped run free tennis clinics at the LSU Tennis Complex, participated in LSU's annual Halloween BOOzar event, and engaged with underserved youth during the Gardere Initiative's MLK Day of Service.
